Despite being huge outsiders coming into the match without Daly Cherry-Evans the Sea Eagles were the better team throughout the contest against a red-hot Cowboys outfit looking for nine straight wins and playing in front of their home crowd.

However despite the Sea Eagles’ brilliant effort, the Cowboys went 100 metres off the final set thanks to a mid-field Jake Granville break.

Johnathan Thurston then did what he does best against a retreating defence, throwing a perfect cut-out pass out to Gavin Cooper to score the game-winner.
